 This install applies to "Vermeer © 1988 Ariolasoft.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path.
 This program can be found in the WHDLoad package.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem.
 (+0.9 MB for preload)
 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").

 The game requires an installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and
 must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with
 tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
 If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with
 an appropriate message.
 Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same
 directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
 "util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet.


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - Load/Save supported
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')


 "And now for my next number I'd like to return to the classics" so here it
 is, the patch for a real classic trading simulation. I spent so many hours
 playing the C64 version back in the day with a schoolmate and his
 mother, good old nostalgia, sniff. ;) While I prefer the C64 version
 the Amiga port is very good too despite being programmed in BASIC(!).
 Patching it wasn't too trivial because of the overlay hunks and the compiled
 BASIC code but the game deserves a proper patch so I enjoyed working on it.
 I have disabled all disk requests so load/save works without any annoying
 "insert disk and click mouse" screens. If you load a game make sure the
 file exists as otherwise the game will quit with an error message. 
 
 Enjoy this classic from HD, patches for the other games by Ralf Glau
 will follow.
